[Reality_And_Drama_TV_Shows] Survivor: Jeff Probst on if there are too many idols and advantages and start date

by Crime Time Tamil on September 06, 2017

I felt sorry for Cirie . I hope they have her back on again. Too many idols? No I don't think so. I think this one time last season was a one time thing and I bet it never happens again. I was shocked watching that episode.

Survivor 2017 Season 35 Premiere Date Announced

By: Matthew Boyer | June 5, 2017 at 2:15 PM EDT

The CBS Fall 2017 schedule has been announced and it brings a few changes for Survivor S35. First up we're seeing that CBS has decoupled Survivor's season premiere from the Big Brother 19 finale date, which is awesome, and they've also shortened the S35 debut.

Get ready for Survivor 2017 to return on September 27th at 8/7c for a one hour season premiere. It seems like for years now we've had Survivor deliver a 90-minute premiere in the Fall season the same night as the Big Brother finale, but that's not how they're doing it this year.

Survivor will be the lead in for CBS's new SEAL Team series debut that same night which means we'll probably get the BB19 finale the week before. The shorter Survivor premiere is interesting as Inside Survivor points out it's been five years since we had a one-hour premiere.

The 90 minute shows on BB finale night are a mess for me as that's too long for one TC and generally too short to fit in two full rounds of challenges with voting. This past season's double feature premiere worked great, but if we couldn't get that for S35 then I'd rather us drop back to just one episode.

The downtime until Survivor Heroes Vs Healers Vs Hustlers will go by fast so be sure to join us on Facebook & Twitter and get our Email Updates so you don't miss any of the preseason news along the way. Can't wait for the fun to begin again!

Survivor: Jeff Probst on if there are too many idols and advantages

The host calls Cirie's controversial exit 'the most alive I've ever been at Tribal'

There is no doubt that hidden immunity idols and secret advantages have led to some of the most dramatic moments ever on Survivor. Make a list of the most exciting Tribal Councils and most will include some form of an idol (or multiple idols) being played. But have we hit maximum capacity on the number of idols and secret advantages being introduced?

That was a question worth asking during last season's Game Changers . Instead of just one secret advantage, the show stuffed in three different ones. Then, at the final six, you had the unthinkable happen when five out of six people had immunity due to Brad's immunity win, Sarah's Legacy immunity, Troyzan's hidden immunity idol, Tai's first immunity idol (which he used on himself), and Tai's second immunity idol (which he gave to Aubry).

That means Cirie was "voted out" even though she did not have a single vote cast against her, simply because she was the only one who did not have some form of immunity. We asked host Jeff Probst while on location in Fiji (for Heroes v. Healers v. Hustlers, which debuts Sept. 27 on CBS, and season 36, which airs 2018) if this had caused them to reexamine how many idols and advantages to put into the game moving forward.

"We have a board," Probst explains, "and it's just basically a layout of the entire season. We can account for certain things — when we are going to put an advantage in the game… What we can't account for is when an idol can be played."

In the video above, Probst explains how what happened to Cirie was actually a dream come true for producers. "My one big hope was, there will be a night where there is absolute chaos," says the host, who also reveals that when it all went down, it was "probably the most alive I've ever been at Tribal" because Probst was, like viewers, doing the math on the spot to figure out what it all meant as everyone started using their immunities.

Not only does Probst say that watching someone go out in such fashion will not result in limiting idols or advantages in the future, but he looks at the unique Cirie ouster as the defining moment of last season. "I thought that was fantastic," says the host. "That was the poster. If you're building a poster for the movie Survivor: Game Changers, you want Reservoir Dogs. You want all guns pointed in the last episode. That was the Survivor gods looking down at us saying, 'We're going to reward you with another gift.'"

What do you think? Did you love or loathe that many immunities being used at once? And should there be limits on idols and advantages in the future? To see Probst's complete thoughts on the controversial Cirie exit and why it does not change anything moving forward, watch the video above.
